What are the benefits of using the TSP?
The most significant benefit is improved productivity and/or schedule reduction resulting from early defect removal and improved planning and tracking. Early defect removal (a) reduces average time to remove a defect from hours to minutes, (b) reduces testing costs/schedules by 20% to 48%, (c) increases the non-test costs/schedules by 5% to 10%, and (d) yields net average savings of about 25%. Improved planning and tracking increases task hours per week by up to 50%. Task hour increases translate directly to productivity increases. Beyond the benefits of productivity, team members generally enjoy their work much more when working in the TSP environment.
